Don't play the sex card.
I'm not. You played it, remember? You're the one who called it a chick show. I'm criticizing your deployment of the sex card, not playing it myself. I didn't say, "this show is great because of the way it appeals to women." You were the one who quoted and endorsed the argument that "this show isn't good because it is a chick show."
Now, you're trying to put the card back in the deck. Well, too late. I'm calling out the argument for the weak sauce that it is.
In fact, I rejected the concept of a "chick show". My wife loves watching stuff blow up. I tend to prefer emotional dramas. She still makes fun of me because I like Music and Lyrics. In fact, I like pretty much all Drew Barrymore rom coms. The concept that HIMYM is a "chick show" because it is about relationships is one I explicitly rejected. I do so again.
There is no such thing as a chick show. If you think there is, you are simply denying yourself some potential quality entertainment. Get over your hang ups.

To deny the "maleness" of this board and the love it gives a show that is targeted to an audience with low T , no matter the junk between their legs, is to cover your eyes.
As far as me playing a card, I used it to illustrate the absudity of the situation. I never said I hated anyone. You, on the other hand, used it to discredit me personally.
There's a difference.
All was civil until I was acussed of hating women based off of...what? I'm still trying to take the logical leap that you did.
BTW: I don't hate HIMYM and that's not what the threads about. I just don't watch it.

I actually introduced "chick show" and he agreed
Is "chick show" the right adjective? Probably not. It's sophomoric and sexist, I get it. But I've always grouped a show like Friends into a pool that plays more to a female viewership. I like watching Friends and HIMYM, but I group them into that category.
To each his/her own.
